A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided,
with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous …

Ethanol, as one of the important bulk chemicals, is widely used in modern society. It can be
produced by fermentation of sugar, petroleum refining, or conversion of syngas (CO/H2) …

Bulk chemicals such as ethylene glycol (EG) can be industrially synthesized from either
ethylene or syngas, but the latter undergoes a bottleneck reaction and requires high …

Higher alcohols are important compounds with widespread applications in the chemical,
pharmaceutical and energy sectors. Currently, they are mainly produced by sugar …

Copper–ceria as one of the very active catalysts for oxidation reactions has been widely
investigated in heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, copper oxide (1 wt% Cu loading) …

The selectivity control of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) in the direct CO esterification with methyl
nitrite toward dimethyl oxalate (DMO) or dimethyl carbonate (DMC) remains a grand …

In recent years, the field of catalysis has experienced an astonishing transformation, driven
in part by more demanding environmental standards and critical societal and industrial …

Carbon-oxygen bond hydrogenation serves as a versatile fundamental reaction extensively
applied in chemicals synthesis, but rational design of heterogeneous catalysts with …

Hydrogen storage remains one of the most challenging prerequisites to overcome toward
the realization of a hydrogen based economy. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier for …

The demand for virgin polymers is constantly increasing owing to the desired performance
and low recycling rates of polymers; however, this exacerbates significant plastic-industry …
